SO. MANY. OPTIONS. With DD we borrowed a carseat from a friend and she's offered it again, but knowing what I know now I don't want a used seat, especially one that's already been through 3 kids. Who knows what could've happened in those few years (she's assured me it's never been in an accident but I'm paranoid.)

I'd love to find a convertible that we can use right away, but I've read that even though the weight limit can be as low as 5lbs, newborns often are too short for the straps or just don't fit comfortably.

What seats are you guys getting? I think we've settled on the Graco Snugride 35. If we have to get an infant seat I'd rather spend a few extra bucks and get one that we'll use for a while and it seems pretty easy to use. And I *think* it'll work with our stroller (it's an older model so I'm not sure if the new seats work with it) so that's a bonus.
